I deny any and all claims regarding my lower appendages that Panda or others might be making. And I will submit that Rogue has some of the best root beer known to man.

Acid, that video looks great--thanks for putting it up! I just want to let everyone know that we aren't that pixelated in real life ...

However, it provides us with an important lesson: no matter much fun it is to chat, always obey the impulses

I had to quote that. Listen to tilting, she speaks the truth!

What, you're plural now? :)

I'm glad to see that we can all be right about poor dead Tycho. Now, if all our theories are ...

Sorry, just have to jump in here to correct some historical inaccuracies regarding the great Tycho Brahe (sorry Loki). Tycho actually had a brass nose, not a silver one. And the story of how he died is nowhere near as mundane as a simple poisoning over scientific legacies. Tycho was actually quite ...

Tristan: at least some of Jonas' bonds had to have been cut, because his wrists were secured with zip ties. The only way to remove those things once they're on is to cut them.

Jane: I agree that Daniel is not "working for the Order," in the sense that you use it. Whether he's doing the Order's ...

That could definitely be a help, freakish...what is your situation re: camera, car, chat, phone, and ability to drive long distances at strange hours?

Edit: Nevermind, I've actually read the D.R.O.P. thread now...

Panda, I've had a very serious talk with the weather gods, and they won't be pulling that kind of nonsense again, I promise you.

I sent them to bed without any dinner for a month.

If we're hypothesizing that "Relax. I'm on your side." is Daniel acknowledging his trigger word unconsciously, then I don't think "bitch" is the trigger word. I've been looking into this a little bit since yesterday, and it looks to me like a pre-conditioned response usually comes directly after the ...

Egyptian fractions are notable, as outlaww pointed out, because the numerator is almost always one, with a different denominator (that eye/mouth shaped piece stands for one, or 1/1). You start from there, and add symbols to make it 1/3, 15, 1/10, etc., but you can never make 5/6, 3/5, 9/11, etc. A ...

It's not so much that the fish inside the bowl sees three fish where we see two. The fish inside the bowl sees the fish outside the bowl with a different perspective than the person looking at the outside fish through the bowl.

Of course, I have no idea what fish trainer is looking at, nor what ...

Tristan, I think "Relax. I'm on your side," is what Daniel is conditioned to say when acknowledging his trigger word. I hadn't thought about that until you repeated it here, but it seems likely.

I don't think Jonas' task is done. He's the ultimate babysitter, and as long as Bree is at large, he'll ...

Here's my theory, based on this video:

When Daniel went to spend a little quality time at the OpA Day Spa & Brainwashing Center, his caretakers took care to implant some conditioning that would make him useful to them later. They had to do this deeply enough so that Daniel wouldn't know himself ...

I think this is a sign that Jonas and Daniel are being influenced by the Order when they speak with this strange audio feature. I don't think either of them are aware of it...but it's a signal for us to watch out for. When the strange echoey effect occurs, the Order is at work.

So, having followed Deagol's link, I've discovered that it makes a whole lot more sense than he did. :) I've pulled a few things, and then I'll explain what I think. I'm sorry if I'm repeating anything other people have already said, but there are 500 pages of research out there on the forums, and ...
